The restaurant was excellent. It was conveniently located near the CBD and had a beautiful view of trees, even though it was close to a train station. The food was delicious and diverse, and the waitstaff were very attentive. My family and I had a lovely evening.

This restaurant was decent and the staff were friendly. The food was good but lacked a few key elements that would have made our experience better. We ordered the grilled calamari with orange and fennel salad, which had fresh and tender calamari but lacked enough salad. The Veal Scallopine we had was tasty with a nice sauce, but the portion size was small for the price of $42. The Chocolate crepe was filled with cream, which was not what we expected. Perhaps adding chocolate gelato would have been a better choice. These comments are meant to provide constructive feedback. Overall, it was an expensive meal and we left feeling hungry, which is not something we typically experience. Thank you.
